I've seen a real one of these in Omaha, it is hilarious. Very fitting DD for @PetroleumJunkie412

That makes the Festiva look big.

I had a Festiva for a while.it needed an engine rebuild. I got the heads done. But it kept smoking.

Fun car to drive. Mine had a manual transmission. I don't think an auto would have been as entertaining. It was like driving one of those Fisher Price plastic cars, but with an engine.

With unlimited time, I'd love to put a cage in one and daily it as a "drive it like you stole it" beater. Would be a lot of fun bombing around on back roads.

Way more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

And suddenly that explains the 2.9 fascination...

Almost as fun as driving a fast car fast.

But way more legal... bystanders look at you almost as dumb though...

We don't have to explain . . .

. . . it's more like . . . a bubba gangsta brotherhood.

I had an '88 Festiva, a '91 Festiva with a B6 swap, and two Aspires. My sister had a BP powered Festiva. It had 128 HP and a 4-spd auto. It would move. Oh, and my brother had an '89 with a JDM 1.6 carbed B6 in it.

While on the hooptie thing, here's some pics of the justy as I got it, after I painted some body panels with wally world rattle cans at the Peter Aridale in Seaside Oregon, then after my full rattle can paintjob then one of few pics I have of the Tracker... Note I did not install the ADA bathroom stall handle on the roof, but it entertained me so I left it . For those observent ones, I did have a second for a short time but that one is more complicated and I spent more time in the red/blue one, I think 70k miles on it then 120k on the Tracker...
